Should Doctor Be Consulted For Severe Pain On Forehead?

I fell from a standing position and hit the back of my head very hard (slip n slide). I did not lose consciousness and have not been nauseated. I am now having a headache with pain mostly in the front of my head (forehead area) should I keep observing for a bit or should I go right in ?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, ideally and according to rule all the head injury cases need to be kept under observation for 48 hours and must be sent for investigation like CT brain because anything could happen during this time period, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
